How do I add one-time earnings or variable pay components for my employees every month?

You can add one-time earnings or variable pay components to your employees while processing your monthly pay runs.

• Go to the Pay Runs tab.
• Click Create Pay Run or View Details if you already have a draft pay run.
• Click next to the employee name and click +New Earning from the side panel.
• Choose the incentive/ bonus/ commission from the drop down and enter an amount. You have to configure the component through Settings > Salary Components for it to show up here.
• Click Save.

The one-time earning / variable pay component will be added to the employee’s pay for that pay period.

Alternately, you can import one-time earnings for a bunch of employees by uploading a XLS or CSV file.

• Click Import/Export > One-time Earnings and Deductions.
• Upload your CSV or XLS file containing the one-time earning details. You can view a sample file to make sure that you’ve entered the data in the correct format.
• Select the Character Encoding and File Delimiter.
• Click Next.
• Map the Zoho Payroll fields with the columns in your import file.
• Click Next.
• View the import preview and click the Import button.

The earning will be added to the pay run once you click Apply Changes.
